What does it mean to be normal—when the world around you isn’t?

Pia, a young woman freshly discharged from a psychiatric hospital, returns to her family home in search of stability, healing, and a place in a world that no longer feels familiar.

As she reenters everyday life, Pia must confront not only her inner challenges, but also the subtle, strange expectations of a society that labels her "different." From awkward job interviews to strained relationships, she navigates a landscape that often seems more absurd than her diagnosis.

Told with empathy, wit, and an honest lens on mental health, Wie man normal ist offers a quietly powerful story of resilience, identity, and redefining what it means to live well in a world full of contradictions.
